Electric hum

Dane Kuttler’s poetry covers a lot of territory, whether she’s taking on the persona of Shifra, the Midwife, speaking to protestors outside a Planned Parenthood, or asking the simple, somewhat hung over question, “How can today be happening if I’m still in last night’s clothes?” There’s a bright, youthful politics to Kuttler’s poems, politics, gender, religion and sexuality meshing in vibrant portraits. There’s an electric hum through her poems, one that’s both captivating and more than a little dangerous. Kuttler performs with musicians Dangerous Ponies for the Dirty Gerund Poetry Series at 9 p.m. Monday at Ralph’s Chadwick Square Diner, 148 Grove St., Worcester. (Victor D. Infante)
